README

Contracts to implement hooks for PoP. The concept of a “hook” is the same as in WordPress: an “action” allows executing extra functionality, and a “filter” allows to modify a value.

Install

Via Composer

composer require getpop/hooks

Development

The source code is hosted on the PoP monorepo, under Engine/packages/hooks.

Usage

Initialize the component:

\PoP\Root\App::stockAndInitializeComponentClasses([([
    \PoP\Hooks\Component::class,
]);

Use it:

use PoP\Hooks\Facades\HooksAPIFacade;

// Get an instance of the service
$hooksapi = HooksAPI::getInstance();

// Add a hook for an Action
$hooksapi->addAction($actionName, $functionName, $priority, $argNum);

// Add a hook for a Filter
$hooksapi->addFilter($filterName, $functionName, $priority, $argNum);

// Execute an Action
$hooksapi->doAction($actionName, $param1, $param2, ...);

// Execute a Filter
$filterValue = $hooksapi->applyFilters($filterName, $filterValue, $param1, $param2, ...);

// Remove an Action
$hooksapi->removeAction($actionName, $functionName, $priority, $argNum);

// Remove a Filter
$hooksapi->removeFilter($filterName, $functionName, $priority, $argNum);

Architecture Design and Implementation

Hooks

PoP uses hooks (as pioneered by WordPress) everywhere, through both functions doAction and applyFilters as defined through interface HooksAPI, allowing any piece of code to be overridable by any 3rd party, or be injected extra functionality. For WordPress, the implementation of the interface is trivial. Other systems can rely on packages to implement this functionality (eg: this one or this one).
